Regarding Mercer, think about it: we’re playing Dryden freaking Hunt with Sharan and Huberdeau. Mercer coming in would make that a decent 1st line with Huberdeau and Sharan / Mercer alternating on FOs (maybe depending on where the face off is, or whoever is playing better that night). Mercer is versatile, he would fit in this lineup like a glove. Don’t might Holtz at all, but I do feel like Mercer is the better target. We wanted him at the draft and fell just short of him, I doubt we wouldn’t want him anymore. We know what he’s capable of.
